Employing the Latin word for breast, SenoRx's name says it all: the company develops, manufactures, and distributes biopsy systems and breast tissue markers used in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Its primary diagnostic product, EnCor, is a vacuum-assisted breast biopsy probe system with which a doctor may collect tissue samples and biopsies through a proprietary transparent tissue collection chamber. The system allows the doctor to examine the quality of the specimen mid-probe, rather than performing numerous biopsies. Other core products include Contura MLB, a radiation therapy device. SenoRx was acquired by medical device maker C.R. Bard for about $200 million in 2010.

Factoid for the day: the first electric dental drill was invented in 1882 and the company that made it is now known as Sirona Dental Systems. The company still makes handheld dental instruments as well as imaging systems, dental CAD/CAM systems used in restorations, and a full line of other products used by dentists and dental laboratories worldwide. Its CEREC system is a 3-D computer-aided contraption for making ceramic restorations (such as crowns and bridges) in the dentist's office rather than a lab. The firm's imaging systems include traditional X-ray equipment and digital radiography systems. Other products include dental chairs (known as "treatment centers"), and instrument cleaning systems.
